S U B J E C T : ( Song Bird Media Tax Scam Issue )
" Regine Velasquez replies to tax evasion charge "
Regine Velasquez went to the Department of Justice this morning to personally submit a counter affidavit in response to the tax evasion case filed against her by the BIR.
The singer-actress presented her sworn statement before the court this morning, but did not face the media. Only her lawyer, Charito Zamora attended the hearing at 2 p.m.
Velasquez said she did not intend to make any mistakes on the Income Tax Return she filed in 2003. She also promised that the situation will be fixed as soon as possible, and expressed her desire to fulfill her responsibility as a Filipino citizen by paying the right tax due the government.
Zamora and the BIR officials did not permit members of the press to get a copy of the singer’s affidavit following a direct instruction from the singer. They also refused to make any statements or comments on the case.
But GMA News was able to get a copy of Velasquez’ affidavit from the Chief State Prosecutor. Part of her statement went: “The omission or failure to include on my return my income for the 2003 taxable period from the Nestlé endorsement was definitely not willful but merely due to inadvertence and excusable neglect.”
She also apologized to the BIR for not immediately complying with their invitation for a personal appearance at the bureau because she was out of the country from March till May for a series of concerts.
The BIR filed a tax evasion case against Velasquez last April 21 for her alleged failure to declare her Php3.75 million talent fee from Nestlé Philippines in 2003. She only reported a Php7.7 million talent fee from Viva Entertainment, MaximMedia and GMA Network.
Velasquez noted that Nestlé Philippines deducted from the amount a withholding tax of Php750,000. <-----end-of-article----->
=========================================================
NOTE: Nestle had already deducted the tax amount??! AHA!
That could be the key that shows it was a media fraud!!

REGINE V. performed to an almost EMPTY audeince !!!
MARAMI pang kapalpakang naganap sa nakaraang Luna Awards bukod sa
ginawang pagpapalabas
sa mga bisita sa loob ng Westin Philippine Plaza Ballroom Harbor
Tent bago in-announce ang best director and picture. Bale ba,
ipakikita lang sa mga bisita ang fireworks display sa may pool area
ng nabanggit na hotel.
Halata bang na-hurt ang sole host na si Martin Nievera, dahil co-
singer Regine Velasquez performed to an almost empty audience?
Mabuti na lang at 'di apektado si Regine kung marami o iilan lang
ang kanyang audience.
She still give her all, huh!
--------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This article was cut. The rest really isn't relevant to the
RV story here. But I like to add that people were being asked to
transfer outside to the pool area before Regine started her song.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Too many glaring boo-boos at the Luna Awards
( Regine performed one of her favorite "theme" songs there. )
THE stars who attended the 23rd Film Academy of the Philippines
(FAP) Awards, now called Luna Awards as a tribute to Juan Luna (not
Barbara Luna), came in all their finery, dressed by top designers.
But somehow, we can't help but feel sorry for them as they stand
there on the so called red carpet, waiting to be interviewed by Boy
Abunda, baking under the heat of the scorching summer sun. Boy
himself must have been drenched in sweat after that sweltering
portion that went on for two hours and later aired on TV from 9 to
ll p.m. The awards ceremonies itself was a ho-hum affair.
----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Reg's media publicist did interview Regine on the red carpet.
we don't have to mention to music fans where they got this idea of
interviewing celebs like this. In this case, they had to wait..
----------------------------------------------------------------
guest performers: Jericho Rosales with "In Other Words," Piolo
Pascual with "The Gift" and Regine Velasquez with "What Kind of Fool
I Am." The only Tagalog song was "Ikaw," rendered by Sarah Geronimo.
It was a night of plunging necklines, with stars, both young and
veterans, exposing their cleavage, like Regine Velasquez, Lorna
Tolentino, Jaclyn Jose, Angelu de Leon, Claudine Barretto, Camille
Prats, and others.

Boy George Meets Tim Yap! The columnist who wrote
about Regine's fashion show and business before.
While there has been a number of showbiz people
who went out of their way to meet fmr pop star
and now fab dj dude Boy George.. I find it very
interesting to note that Regine's media publicist
doesn't seem to be one of those who went to meet
him. And ya think he would, eh? ;-}
Hugh Jackman gay? -By Boy George
"And you know who else? Hugh Jackman is so gay. I just
saw him at a benefit the night before the Tony's and I
saw him holding hands and kissing his lover! The nerve
to go onstage during the awards to say he is not," as he
raised an eyebrow, lit a cigarette, and proceeded to go
for a bathroom break-a break that took about 10 minutes,
with his whole posse.
------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Well, I'll believe Boy George first before I'll
believe anything coming from RV's media publicist. But
my sister already beat Boy George on that tidbit. But
she loves him anyway. As for myself.. something about
foreign gays that don't seem to make it a difference
with movie topics. He was macho great in "X-Man!"-mmJ

Real local TV jokes-
HOST: What would you like to say to your close friend,
who is celebrating his birthday today?
Guest: I admire you for being so good as an actor,
and as a friend. You cease to never amaze me!
(Ay, baliktad!)
* * *
Host: How does this giant ballroom work? How does it
lift us up to float to different places?
Guest: It's an old principle that still works very well:
it's the hot air that's rising us up!
(And you're getting a rise out of us...)
* * *
Quizmaster: Which two sides fought in the
US Revolutionary War?
Contestant: Japan and Asia!
(Your answer is downright-revolutionary!)
* * *
Host: Is it true that, as an audience, Filipinos are
among the most difficult to please?
Guest: Only at the start. But, if you're a good performer,
you'll easily notice that, when they're already relaxed,
Filipinos are no longer shy and even engage in all sorts
of antiques!
(Antics mo, antiques ko!)
